    I am using farfromfearless.com’s Lemon Twist Theme (incase that matters) – When I make a post normally I format it in dreamweaver (strict HTML 4.01) then just copy and past it into the admin are where I Post and I’m done…

    Although if I go to edit the post for any reason and save… It seems that all of my Paragraph breaks and other similar formatting tags seem to disappear.

    Anyone else have this issue… is this a bug with something in the latest version of WordPress. Thanks for any help.

    I have this same exact problem… NO idea whats causing it. I dont use dreamweaver to format or anything. I just type it up in wordpress then publish. When I edit it loses all the formatting and becomes one long line…

    Yes, this happens when I copy HTML from Dremweaver or copy HTML from a text document. It copies into the view window fine, but gets messed up when converting to the regular view window and when seen in HTML again special characters are replaced with character combinations, and that is what messes up the output.

    I have read that WordPress uses XHTML and not HTML, but shouldn’t matter if the HTML code is clean. I just copied good HTML into the code window again and viewing through teh visual window just messed it up.

    Not sure what is causing this specifically, particularly since WordPress provides the HTML option. It must be a bug of some sort, but I would expect that to be written abou in the forum lots.

    Keep this thread open and hopefully someone with an answer will help out.
